Junes after a service of two terms of two years each, surrenders the respotcsiUlitios of. tbe office of county treasurer to his elected successor, Mr. Henry 1. Adams.

Mr. Janes, it is said, will return to his farm in Kankakee township. May health, prosperity nnd long Ijfe be allotted to him. Mb. Lutheb Benson, the renowned temperance lecturer of Indiana, has an appointment to speak in the Methodist Episcopal church to-uigt,t attd to morrow night.

He will do the right by nil sections of this country :.s bo sees the right—without fear of criticism and should his party break faith v.itlf liitn, we do not believe lie would yield what he deems right mid just to win the favor of any party.

The Rensselaer Union, one of Hie best among our exchanges, is to be reduced from a six-column quarteto a seven-e< lumn folio. The reason given for the change is because it does not pay to publish a 48-cul-umu paper in a 28-columu town. —Ctowp I’oint Register.

THE IXTETW n AND SUMMER STOCK of DRY GOODS ■ • ' { JUST OPENED BY IL MIG COXTSZSTS OF Staple Articles that are in demand and that civjlized people must use, whether the times he flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow, 'or money is plentiful or scarce, i No attempt was made to secure ! frivolous novelties in the selection of my stock of goods for ' the spring and summer trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose durability and price would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circuit) which now surround everybody in the United- States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a [stock that will compare favorI ably in point of beauty with [anything to be found in this [ market, while the standard quality and low prices of the fabrics must necessarily recommend them in an especial manner to people of judgment, ! prudence and economizing desires. No special enumeration of the articles comprising this new stock is deemed necessary j from the fact that it is very well known that I deal in all articles usually found in collections nf general merchandise hi inland towns, but it-may be well enough to say that boots, shoes, hats, caps, clothing, standard groceries, etc., are kept in addition to the assortment -of dress fabrics and other dry goods. Calls of inspect ior and purchase respectfully invited R.
